  • Patent number: 10167162
    Abstract: In a banknote storage box (16) of an ATM (1), a front guide (25) is attached to a front door (21) through attachment members (26) at four locations in a front guide attachment section (30). Intervals between faces (32 and 33) positioned on mutually opposite sides of each attachment member (26) are different for each of three attachment intervals LA, LB, and LC. Accordingly, in the front guide attachment section (30), a selected attachment interval LS is able to be adjusted between three steps without exchanging components by just changing the orientation of each attachment member (26) when attaching the attachment member (26).

  • Patent number: 9734650
    Abstract: A banknote deposit and withdrawal apparatus causes a control section to function as an inserted medium counting unit, a normal medium counting unit and an abnormal mediums number calculation unit. The normal medium counting unit again feeds out and conveys banknotes from the banknote deposit and withdrawal section to the verification section in a quantity corresponding to the number of inserted banknotes, conveys abnormal banknotes that are verified as abnormal by the verification section to the banknote deposit and withdrawal section together with following banknotes but conveys normal banknotes that are verified as normal by the verification section to the temporary holding section and retains the normal banknotes therein, and counts a number of normal banknotes. The abnormal mediums number calculation unit subtracts the number of normal banknotes from the number of inserted banknotes to calculate an abnormal banknotes number.

  • Patent number: 9595153
    Abstract: Tapes holding bills and wound round a drum are pressed against the drum by a winding roller, and the tapes are further pressed against the drum by a guide roller provided downstream of the winding roller in the tape winding direction of the drum. Thus, bills difficult to be curved along the outer circumferential surface of the drum, such as creased or wrinkled bills, can be curved along the outer circumferential surface of the drum, and the bills wound round the drum can be prevented from shifting or skewing.

  • Patent number: 9592978
    Abstract: The present invention provides a medium protection device and a medium separating and stacking device capable of avoiding damage to a medium when moving the medium along a guide. In a banknote cassette, a guide body is attached to a circumferential side face of a central body of a tongue piece roller in a range not provided with tongue pieces. When feeding out banknotes, the banknote cassette stops the tongue piece roller in a retracted state, thereby positioning an outer circumferential face of the guide body in the vicinity of the surface of a front upper curved portion of a hole in the conveyance guide, such that the hole can be placed in an almost completely blocked state. The present invention can accordingly prevent the vicinity of a corner of a banknote from entering the hole, enabling creasing during conveyance to be forestalled.
